Rating: - great blender!
I make smoothies and protein shakes every morning and this blender is fantastic. I've only made soup once and didn't lock the clear plastic section of the top into the place, so some came out and splattered, but as long as I remember to lock it into place it's fine.
Great blender and I'm very happy with it.

The Braun Power Max 2050 is rated a "Best Buy" by a leading consumer
publication. It also has gotten sterling reviews on Amazon. I needed
a larger blender, and the price was right. So -- I bought it.
Well, it does have a glass container, which makes for more hygienic blending than plastic. The container, though of very heavy glass, holds only 56 ounces, instead of the usual 64. This gives it a large-enough

Rating: - Good blender
This is my first ever blender, but I've used another model before at a hotel. This one is so much quieter, and it did a good job making smoothies. Also, the jug is made of glass and very easy to clean. So far no problems.
Rating: - Keeps breaking
I really wanted to like this blender. Bought it in December '07. It does a great job making smoothies, but, as others have said, the plastic teeth connecting the blade to the drive are not built to last. I've already replaced the blade assembly twice (in 7 months ownership). Braun is willing enough to send the replacement part, but wouldn't it be better to fix the design flaw so they didn't have to? Once my 1 year warranty expires I will be replacing the unit.
Rating: - Probably not worth the trouble
Works well, breaks regularly. The motor is quite powerful, but the drive train is plastic and breaks. One can purchase replacement parts, but the third time you buy a ten dollar part you begin to question the total cost. And it may take several weeks to get the part.
